The nmeline embodies a cas .of`any @referred deegu, construcogg@ xmmblyX10 of parts suit-ably assembled, and referring by numerals to thedrawings, 11 in each instance indicates one of a roup of verticallyreciprocative edgewise pates such as are usual in Brandt automaticcashiers. Each plate ll is provided with a springcontrolled shank l1guided in a slotted top-plate l2 of the machine-casing, and in anotherslotted plate 13 Within said casing. Each of the plate-shanks is inengagement with the slotted shank 14 of a push-button 14, and thepush-button shank is also guided in the plate l2 aforesaid. Each plate11 and the push-button 14 therewith constitutes what is hereinaftertermed a key of the machine, its general construction being that.originally disclosed in Patent VYo. 824,841, July 3,1906. As is alsousual in Brandt automatic cashiers the plate portion 11 of each key isprovided with a foot or feet 11, and in the presentmachine. each foot isopposed by one of a series of edgewi angle-plates constituting bellcranklevers 15 all nlcrumed on a single rod 16 having preferably bushed endsen gagging supports 16 in the Inachine-casing, 1n which they are held byoverlying screws 16" or other vsuitable means, it being understood thatthe levers are actuated singly and associated vby the keys of themachine. A spiral-spring 17 connects ,the rear arm of each lever 15 witha serially recessed angleplate 18 secured at each end to in inner upperledge 19 of the machine-casing, each ledge being vertically recessed toform a seat in which a preferably hushed end of a rod 2O is held by anoverlying screw 20 or other suitable means.

rllhe rc-l 20 serves as a support for .as many pendant swingfhangersQ-las there are bellcrank levers 15 in themachine. Each hanger free toswing and is guided in a recess of the plate 18 and is straddled by aforked end of a. coinpnsher 22 pivot/ed thereto. As a matter of detail,the ivotpin 23 for each coiirpusher has a flange head, and one end ofaleasprin'g 24, fastened by a screw 26 to the adjacent hanger, engagesthe pin-head against its flange, as

is best shown in Fig, 9, similar means for preventing automaticseparation of a coinpusher from its carrier having been ori -1- nallydisclosed in the application aforesaid.

A spiral-spring 27 connects a fork-branch of each coin-pusher with thewidened lower end of the hanger 2l to which said pusher is pivote-il,and an anti-frietion roller 28 carried with said hanger oplfioses theforward arm oi lone ofthe levers 1:3. This lever-arm guided between thehanger and a` guard parallel to tbc saine, the guard lleing last, on nspar f rivet ft). a' i also he t shown in litgf :md ille spindle jfl forkeys.

From the foregoing; it will be readily understood that each ol thecoin-puslnr hungex's is swung forward :is avrcsult of a rock of a lever15 from normal position, and to (leader. sound ot impact of said hangersagainst the back of a front-plate 32 ol the nmcbinecasing below arearwardlyinclined coin-tray 31, an interposed butler-strip of wood orother suitable material is employed. On return of the lever 15 to normalposition, its forward arm operates upon the spacing-rivet 80 in its pathto thereby re.- tract the companion hanger and coin-pusher therewith,the operation being automatic, as a result of contraction of apreviously expanded spring 17 when the actuatingkey or said lever isrelieved (if-pressure. It will thus be seen that the levers 15 serve asa means for moving the hangers forward and as positive means forretrncting the same. Under ordinary conditions, the hangers would, bygravity, niove backward as soon as the pressure on the levers 15 hasbeen released, but owing to the presence of coin in the tray andpossible frictional contact with the guides, interfering with suchnormal backward movement, it has been foundv expedient and advantageousto positively retract the hangers in the manner above stated. AS a guidefor the lower ends of the aforesaid hangers, a serially recessedangle-plate 18 is fastened to a bottom-'plate 33 of the machine-casing.

The top-plate 12 of the machine is inset at such an elevation as toprovide for sulicient length of key-stems wit-hout undue projection ofthe same above the aforesaid the front rank are preferably inclined ontheir Shanks toward the operator so that' their indices may be morereadily seen, the angle'of inclination being;n such that is best adaptedto facilitate rapid action of said The universal rocker 34 ofthc-machine opposes the rear arms of all the levers 15 and haspreferably hushed crank-ends in supports 231i with which themachine-casing is provided, said rocker being connected by Spiralspringswith a serially recessed plate 36 in which the roar arms of said le'-vers are guided, said plate being secured at its ends to supports 3Gwith Whirh said casing is provided. The springs 35 expand when therocker 34 is depressed and primarily assist to contract to automaticallyreturn said rocker to normal position when relieved of pressure. Thespring actuated rocker serves alsto modify the actuation of the bellcrank 15 in resisting their movement. under key pressure, thusslowing/up on the electing actifn or impulse of the ejectorlnefhanisnr.y after the primary artpating impulse has been applied.Another guide-plate 3G" is provided for .said levers.
